Restore CM State

About this task

IBM® Sterling Secure Proxy 3.4.1.8 and above automatically creates a backup of the configuration file prior to starting. There is currently no functionality to remove or manage backed-up directories and unnecessary backup files should be removed. The backup does not occur during the upgrade process, it occurs when you run the Secure Proxy Configuration Manager after the 3.4.1.8 upgrade. It is recommended that you perform a manual backup prior to the upgrade process.

To restore the Configuration Manager to a previous state, complete the following steps:

Procedure

By default, the backup directory is located in [CM_INSTALL]/CM-BACKUPyyyymmddmmss. To select a different backup directory, select a new directory in [CM_INSTALL]/conf/system/sysGlobals.xml. A new field, backupDir is added and allows you to specify a new backup directory.
Note: If using a new backup directory, the backup files are placed in [backupDir]/CM-BACKUP-yyyymmddmmss.
Copy the [BACKUP_DIR]/apps/jetty/JettyConfigDef.xml to [CM_INSTALL]/apps/jetty
To save the existing conf directory under a different name, rename the [CM_INSTALL]/conf to [CM_INSTALL]/conf_save
Copy the[BACKUP_DIR]/conf to [CM_INSTALL]/
Restart the Secure Proxy Configuration Manager.
To utilize a different backup directory for startup and backup processing, see System Settings - Globals.

Note: If you need to back out of the Configuration Manager (CM) upgrade, you must install the previous Secure Proxy Configuration Manager. Complete steps 2, 3, and 4 from the above procedure then restart the CM.
